Is Trump Waiting for the Right Moment to Strike Iran?
(Israel Hayom) Danny Zaken - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said he may meet U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff in Geneva on Thursday. A senior U.S. official said America was demanding a serious and detailed proposal outlining Iran's position on the nuclear file, alongside a readiness to engage immediately on other issues. The decision to hold additional talks appears to be a final opportunity for Tehran to put forward an acceptable offer. Assessments in both Israel and the U.S. are that even if Iran shows further flexibility on the nuclear issue, it is unlikely to meet Washington's declared minimum threshold. The senior U.S. official said Trump believes regime change can serve as a regional strategic tool and is waiting for the right timing and optimal conditions. Within the administration, multiple teams are working on plans for steps that could lead to the regime's collapse following a strike, as well as on cultivating figures who could assume power in order to prevent chaos.
